Exactly.

i know you got this beef with the game because you happened to encounter some immersion breaking bugs while playing through the game, but not everybody did (myself included). either way, get over it. the game is brutal, the game is legendary, the game is a massive success.

Great. It's a massive success. Whoop de doo. Good voice acting. That's about it.

I actually think maybe Madden 25 could beat Last of Us in September, unless many people are waiting for next gen version. It was able to beat Borderlands 2 in its first month, I am sure it possibly beat Last of Us in its 4th

I don't expect you to jump in my arms and embrace the truth, but that's pretty much all there is to it. It's okay if you feel otherwise though.

another good point, but overall TLOU looks like the game of the year, im been holding off buying it and now im about to get it.   too good for too long,   I usually respect Gamespot reviews, but to give it 8.0 seems off, and im a pro xbox guy saying that.

I agree with you on some points, but the game is far from legendary. I still hold the view that TLOU will not be remembered well in the long-term, but that does not take away from its success or the fact that at the end of the day it is a good game, despite its flaws. I hope fans of TLOU get another installment that is just as good.

you're the one making the claim that the game is nothing but good voice acting. why don't you explain yourself so i don't have to go "lalalalalalala". because that's what i'm seeing when you post, except there's a "b" in there....

I am sure it is great and I would love to buy it, but I do not want to spend $60 on a game during Steam summer sale, hoping for it to come to redbox, but I am actually glad they gave it a 8.0 imo most reviewers played it blindly and ignored any of the issues like ai. It is great to here another gamers opinion on a game but in a review I want some technical issues and possible problems some people may have with the game and actually deduct points. Scores seem so inflated that people get upset about a good game getting anything lower than a 9.0. I see games I think are just amazing get lower scores all the time, and I couldnt care less.

It drags. Too many "help Ellie out" situations. Picking up ladders the whole time to continue. More weapons than your average GTA character at your disposal. Insanely slow beginning. Eventless ending. Inconsistent AI.

naughty dog made a bold move by going in the exact opposite direction they were going with the uncharted series. they released a brutal, unforgiving survival horror game, and i applaud them for that. they took a risk and it paid off big time. i'm not saying the game is perfect by any means but it is extremely well done an i do believe it will go down as one of the pinnacles of this gen.

The only warning I can give you on that game is that is a slow burner.

 

The first Half is probably an 8/10

Third quarter a 9/10

last quarter 10/10.

ellies and joel communicating and helping each other out is kinda the whole point of the game, but ok.

there were not that many ladder situations, you're exagerrating.

more weapons than gta? obvious hyperbole, but the thing is, you never really have to use them. plus, play it on hard, nowhere near as much ammo.

i agree with you on the slow beginning.

i LOVED the ending. sad, depressing....just how it should be.

i didn't have many issues with the AI like you claimed to.

so basically, we'll agree to disagree.

Exactly. The point of the game wasn't to sell systems. It was to sell to an already big current gen userbase and become established.

so basically, we'll agree to disagree.

I agree that the "help me" situations between Ellie and Joel were important for the story and the game in general. In my opinion, the ladder/I can't swim scenes were also a nice break from the fight scenes (which began to wear on me quickly). The weapon selection was fine, but like you said there was enough flexibility where you did not have to use them all the time.

As for the beginning, I do not think it was slow, just very predictable (I am sure I sound like a hipster). Th ending was good, although I had a good idea what would happen. Anyways, you are lucky to not have had many bugs or AI problems during your play through. When my friend and I played through it, the problems were numerous, humorous, and in some cases down right terrible.
